lie Has the Right I'D Appoint Terri'
torial Officers If KAe Chooses To.

Special TO the Globe.
BISMARCK, Jan. 2O.-Gov. Pierce is in
a position at the present time to create
slight disturbance in the political ranks OF
this territory if he was disposed to doit and
he is cognzant of the fact. He has the
power TO appoint territorial officers. and it
is only through courtesy to the incoming
governor that he does not do ii. 1t is gen
orally intimated that a pressure is being
brought To bear by present incumbents and
their friends on the governor TO take advan-
tage OF his pTerogatiye and continue them
in office. There is but little question with
the feeling now existing in the TWO houses
that they would promptly confirm any APP
pointments that Gov Pierce would make,
for they have the utmost confidence in him
and there is more or less sentiment against
Mr.. Church, who it is anUici-
pated will toss purely Democratic
appointments into the teeth OF
a strongly Republican legislature. In con-
verSation last evening Gov. Pierce told me
that he was well aware that lie had the
right to make the appointments, but he was
not disposed 10 take an unfair advantage Of
Mr.. Church. whose only reason for not
taking the gubernatorial chair was the tar
dineSS OF congress in confirming his appoint
ment Although Gov. Church has the
scepter in his own hand he is too much of
a man to take advantage of an opportunity
that is not fairly his. Speaking of Gov.
Pierce. there is quite boom here among
Republicans for him as Republican cand-
date for vice president and if he were eli
gible to the office and the votes Of terrific
rial citizens counted in presidential elections
it is quite likely that a strong effort on the
part of Dakotians would be made to place
him on the lower half Of the presidential
ticket. The governor himself evidently
has no idea of reaching out for this honor,
for he tells ME that his plans for the future
are such that he viii probably be a resident
of the territory for several years. but if
Dakota is admitted as a state more may be
expected to be heard of Gilbert A. Pierce
for he is too popular in this sect ion with
the people to be allowed to quietly sink out
of sight TEE AITCH.

ingtOn Territory FavOrabIY Com
sidered.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-In its report
upon the senate bill to provide for the adj
mission of Washington Territory as state
Of the Union. the house committee on ter
ritories says that the vote cast at the last
election in that portion of Idaho. " hich the
bill proposes to add to the new state, was
4.646. Which. at Il ratio of Al represents a
population of population of p. $50. Add
ing this TO the population OF Washington.
the new state will come into the Union with
1877, 905 people or ZOO more than the eS-
tablished unit OF representation. The COM
mittee is of the opinion that Washington
territory has all the elements of wealth,
intelligence and local development in every
particular to enable her people TO success
fully establish and maintain state govern
ment. The committee takes up
THE CLAIM OF MONTANA
for admission into the Union, and after
showing that the population at the last
election was Isl, 4T2, says it would seem
that Montana contains larger population
than the ratio of representation in congress.
Cop!ous quotations are made from the gov
cial condition of the territory, its vast ma
tional resources, and heavy exports Of min
eral and animal products. The committee
then recommends that the original senate
bill. which provided for the admission of
Washington territory. with portion OF
Idaho added, be so amended as To include
the territory of Montana. and that the con-
sttution of the proposed states OF Washing
ton and Montana be submitted TO congress
instead of to the president, as provided in
the senate bill. Another amendment pro-
posed to the bill is a requirement that the
constitutions of the new states shall in
clude a provision f0rbidding polygamouS
association OF Capitalization within their
jurisdiction. Chairman Hill, however, eX-
cepts to this last amendment in a minority
report. in which he says he dissents from
the majority OF the committee in requiring
any religious test whatever in the fOrma-
ton of 4 constitution for a state OF the
Union. or imposing any conditions what
ever except that the state constitution shall
be republican i'll form and conform To the
provisions of the constitution OF the United

Whereas, Norman county has suffered long
from excessive railroad rates, and all our pc
titions have been met with promises and
apologies, instead Of immediate relief our
railroad law is either defective or not in
forced: before harvest we were told that the
crops were so short that in order TO be just to
the railroad companies the rates could only
be slightly reduced, and were fixed on that
basis; after harvest we We're told that the
crops were so abundant that in order to move
them cars should be distributed according 10
capacity of houses. and elevators should have
cars in prefere zee to parties wanting to ship
from side tracks. thus depriving the people
of any reduction whatever by closing up COM

discrimination against persons or places.
Resolved, That our passenger rates are ex-
orbitant and partial, not being in conformity
with other roads.

Died from TrichiniasIs.

STEVENS POINT. Wis. Jan. 20. Some
six weeks ago Sllas PhiIbrick and his wife
were both taken sick. complaining of a
tired, rheumatic feeling, with pains in the
muscles of their limbs. Later. they were
seized with nausea and vomiting and hay
ing the sensation of thousands of needles
penetrating their flesh. Their Threats be-
came partially paralyzed. and in few DAYS
Mrs. Philbrick died The day before her
death she appeared better. and asked for
various kinds of food which she seemed TO
crave. Her husband commenced to grow
stronger and was able to be up, whereuDon
he went TO the home of his parents. a mile
away. Here he suffered a relapse and died.
1t has now been ascertained that the dis
ease which baffied the physicians skill was
trichiniasis. 1t seems that PhiIbriek had a
pig upon one of whose rear legs a sore ex-
tended nearly the whole length. The ami
mai was killed. and, after cutting away the
diseased part, they ate the rest.

Church still Unconfirmed.

Special to the GLOBE
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-There seems to
be trouble about Gov. Church's nomination.
AS yet no report has been made upon it,
although it was referred two weeks ago to
Senator Plat, of Connecticut, with in
structions to report favorably if nothing
was found against Judge Church. Platt
put the nomination in his desk and forgot
all about it until Monday, when Senator
Cullom went to him and said some charges
against Church had been sent to him from
Illinois yesterday. 1t is understood that
Platt consulted Delegate Clifford. who told
him Church was all right, and to go on and
confirm him just lis soon as possible. When
seen Judge Clifford did not want to
talk about this reported conference between
himself and Senator Platt. Il hope" said
the judge. THAT Church will be confirmed
You know I've been in favor of giving the
Democrats the generalship ever since Cleve-
land came in. l think Pierce ought to have
been provided with successor two years
ago. Church is probably good man. 1
don't like him and l think he should be de-
feated in the senate His course as Judge
in Dakota would probably be enough, but
let him go in" To-day some charges came
in against Gov. Moonlight. who was con-
tirmed last week.
